NOTE: As Glenn Hauser mentions in the comments, “Might point out the power is only 100 watts. If anyone ever hears it outside Europe, we`d like to know.”
At 2015, fair signal on 6170, nothing on 11690 and weak but readable on 1602. Location: 71 North (daylight!), 29.5 East.

Hi, Glenn, Thanks for the comment. I had overlooked this fact, but it now explains why I’ve had such difficulty in my attempts to hear them. This morning, they were sharing the frequency with RNZI and, it seems, RHC on their higher frequency. When I tuned to 11,720 at one point, I couldn’t hear them, but my WinRadio Excalibur could detect a weak, but steady, carrier. I could hear someone speaking at one point, but it was not intelligible, though I tried every trick in the book.
I noted your comment in the post, for those who don’t read comments.
